Off-road track

[SgRddY]

That would be sweet if we get permission to do offroad there.

i actually went down to turn 4 to have a look for that exact thing, and its not a bad idea , but it would be a bit of a strech (pretty rough, alot of ruts, and colects alot of water). a way to get regualar access.

i acually went down to trun 4 to have a look one night, its not a bad idea, but its a bit of a strech. not to mention finding a way, legally, to get regular access.

RE: CODY

I have been reading this thread and also have seen posts made in other threads that can be construed as nothing other than belittling, demeaning and at times downright cruel remarks made to this young lad.

I do not know how old Cody is and for that matter it really has little relevance to the issue.

What in Gods name is wrong with some of you people?
A couple of you should be ashamed of yourselves.

I assume most of you are adults and therefore should be setting a positive example for minors, not "cutting them down" which injures their levels of self-esteem.

I am not at present racing with IROCC but I fully intend to restart in the near future.
I also have a 10 year old son who is very enthusiastic about RC cars, is very interested in getting involved with racing them, has a great number of questions regarding the hobby, and will be accompanying me when I restart racing with IROCC again.

I certainly know one thing that will transpire when he does come with me to racing.
I have compiled a list of names of certain individuals I will ensure he is kept away from.

And BTW, my son has not yet learned to type or spell very well either. And he may never do so.   :roll:

You don't owe anyone an explanation nor should an explanation be expected by anyone.

I disagree

no one likes to get spammed and people come here to read about racing and find out information, pointless meaningless posts start to add clutter and garbage to these threads and it makes it hard to sift through. Some of his post come out of left field and have nothing to do with the conversation at hand. These are unnecessary and if I want to point out to a person that they should focus on the topic at hand I will do so as I see fit.

As far as spelling, no one here is asking him to be perfect but when you can not understand the post because it is so bad then there is a problem. When every second word (or more) is spelled incorrectly then a little more effort is needed. At 13 you should be able to look stuff up and get spelling more correct. Besides I see posts where Cody can do it and he just needs to focus more often and a little harder. There is nothing wrong with pushing someone to try a little harder. I agree that calling his posts "crap" is the wrong way to go about it. Mrdoug is not known for his subtly or tactfulness. However when I have had to get after him for his content and spelling I have been nothing but encouraging.

So I don't care if you are 12 or 22 if it is obvious that NO effort is being made to be coherent or keep the discussion on topic then that person needs to be spoken to if they want to participate in this forum. Like I said I know Cody can do better when he focuses.

So all of that said, I don't know what kind of parent or mentor you have been to your kids or any other young person for that matter but in my life I expect a reasonable amount of effort to be made regardless of a persons ability and I take pride in that characteristic and will continue to do so. Communication is one of the most important aspects of getting through life and starting to focus on it at 13 is not too early in my opinion.
